Choices: Bad and Good

We all make bad choices from time to time, often with far reaching consequences. Decisions made from a place of overwhelm, fear or exhaustion rarely bring the results we seek.

That’s when our little voice, the Critic, the Judge gets to grab the hammer and clobber us with it.

As you roll out another year, there is an opportunity for shutting the door on the past and send the Critic to the closet.

The gift you can give yourself is the gift of Presence (ironically it sounds like Presents). When you are being totally present in the moment, it is impossible to feel overwhelmed or fearful.

Most people fear just “being”. You might actually see yourself and not like what you see. In truth, it is only in the silence that you can connect to what is good, wise and beautiful within.

By now your New Year's resolutions may be on shakey ground. Take the time to simply “be”. What do you need to do to be fully aligned with your values? What are the decisions that will take you to the next level? What is really important to you? How do you want to show up in the coming year?

2012, according to some, marks the beginning of a Shift. It is the shift to Awareness. It will be an awakening from the slumber of unconsciousness.

Are you ready?
